MANCHESTER, N.H. - A Manchester, New Hampshire, teen faces several charges after surviving a high-speed roll-over crash that police say happened while he was racing another car on Interstate 293 in the city this week.

Police say 16-year-old Patrick Goulet is lucky to be alive after he hit a guardrail at about 85 miles an hour on Thursday, flipped over several times while crossing oncoming lanes and landed atop another guardrail.

There is no word from the hospital on his condition, but police say he suffered multiple injuries.

State Police say Goulet will be charged with reckless driving, road racing, and not wearing a seatbelt.

Police are looking for the other car witnesses say was racing Goulet. It's a red Honda, possibly with vanity plates.
